Systems and Methods for Use in Verifying Network Identities

1. A computer-implemented method for use in verifying network identities, the method comprising: receiving, at a computing device, data associated with multiple user devices of a user, each of the multiple user devices associated with one or more identity attributes of the user; receiving, at the computing device, a request for authentication of the user based on the one or more identity attributes; in response to the request for authentication of the user, generating an aggregate score based on a length of relationship sub score for each of the multiple user devices and at least one of: a reliability sub score and a historical consistency sub score for each of the multiple user devices, the length of relationship sub score for each of the multiple user devices indicative of a length of time of a relationship between the user and each of the multiple user devices; and transmitting the aggregate score to a relying party in response to the request, thereby permitting the relying party to authenticate the user based at least in part on the aggregate score.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, by the computing device, the reliability sub score for each of the multiple user devices based on a type of authentication of the user at said user device and a specific sensor employed at said user device to authenticate the user.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, by the computing device, the historical consistency sub score for each of the user devices based on a consistency of the data for said user device over a predetermined interval.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein determining the historical consistency sub score includes determining the historical consistency sub score based on a number of login failures at the user device over the predetermined interval.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying the user devices, in response to the request, based on a user profile for the user in a data structure.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the user devices are selected from a communication device, a smart watch, and a smart device at a residence associated with the user.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , further comprising: transmitting, by the computing device, an authentication command to at least one of the user devices requesting an authentication input for the user; and receiving, from said at least one of the user devices, a command reply indicating an authentication result for the user at the at least one of the user devices, prior to transmitting the aggregate score to the relying party.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein receiving the data associated with the multiple user devices includes receiving at least some of said data from the at least one of the user devices via the command reply.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining, by the computing device, the reliability sub score for each of the multiple user devices based on a type of authentication of the user at said user device and a specific sensor employed at said user device to authenticate the user; determining, by the computing device, the length of relationship sub score for each of the multiple user devices based on a length of a relation between the user and said user device for which the sub score is calculated; and determining, by the computing device, the historical consistency sub score for each of the user devices based on a consistency of the data for said user device over a predetermined interval.

10. A system for use in verifying network identities, the system comprising at least one computing device configured to: receive data associated with multiple user devices of a user and relating to one or more identity attributes of the user; receive a request for authentication of the user; in response to the request for authentication of the user: identify at least one of the multiple user devices; submit an authentication command to the user to the identified at least one of the multiple user devices; and in response to a command reply from the identified at least one of the multiple user devices indicating user authentication, generate an aggregate score based on a length of relationship sub score for each of the multiple user devices and at least one of: a reliability sub score and a historical consistency sub score for each of the multiple user devices, the length of relationship score for each of the multiple user devices indicative of a length of time of a relationship between the user and each of the multiple user devices; and transmit the aggregate score to a relying party, thereby permitting the relying party to authenticate the user based at least in part on the aggregate score.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one computing device is configured to identify the at least one of the multiple user devices based on a user profile for the user in a data structure.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the user devices are selected from a group including a communication device, a smart watch, and a smart device at a residence associated with the user.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one computing device is further configured to: determine the reliability sub score for each of the multiple user devices based on a type of authentication of the user at said user device and a specific sensor employed at said user device to authenticate the user; and determine the historical consistency sub score for each of the user devices based on a consistency of the data for said user device over a predetermined interval.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions for use in verifying network identities, which when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to: receive data associated with multiple user devices of a user and relating to one or more identity attributes of the user; determine a reliability sub score for each of the multiple user devices based on a type of authentication of the user at said user device and a specific sensor employed at said user device to authenticate the user; determine a length of relationship sub score for each of the multiple user devices based on a length of a relation between the user and said user device for which the sub score is calculated; determine a historical consistency sub score for each of the user devices based on a consistency of the data for said user device over a predetermined interval; generate an aggregate score based on the reliability sub score, the length of relationship sub score, and the historical consistency sub score for each of the multiple user devices; and in response to a request for authentication of the user, transmit the aggregate score to a relying party, thereby permitting the relying party to authenticate the user based at least in part on the aggregate score.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the at least one processor to identify the user devices, in response to the request, based on a user profile for the user in a data structure.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the at least one processor to: transmit an authentication command to at least one of the user devices requesting an authentication input for the user; and receive, from said at least one of the user devices, a command reply indicating an authentication result for the user at the at least one of the user devices.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the at least one processor, in connection with receiving the data associated with the multiple user devices, to receive at least some of said data from the at least one of the user devices via the command reply.
